Re: Surgery Date - Still a scaredy pants - anyone 6+ ...

Hi ALex, I am only 1 1/2 years post op but I am gald I had my surgery. I was

ssooos cared too right up until surery day but I did it and am happy I did. I

know that I would nbever feel this good if I did not and I did not want to

live as fat as I was. I still have NOT made it to goal weight though.I was not a

good follower of my diet, I was a first but once I could eat junk I did. i

need to still learn to say NO to junk food. I know i will still get to goal

though. I still cannot overeat so that is a good thing. I am currently pregnant

(

6 months) so I am at a standstill but I am going to get my ass in gear after.

I have still lost 140 pounds and uit is a GREAT feeling and I would do it all

over again if I had to. Good Luck and I hope your nerves settle down and

all goes smoothly for you. The worst problem I had after surgery was the

drainage tube aggravating me. I had mine in 2 weeks but i know others who got it

out before coming home. I also have a hernia near my incision from lifting kids

too soon but it is NOT painful and I will get that fixed later when i lose the

rest and get a tummy tuck

God Bless,
